Whenever I'm low I am a bottomless pit. It's hard not to continue eating until you feel better. The feeling is so icky that I want to make sure I get enough carbs in me so my blood sugar goes up as quickly as possible. I HATE being low. It's soooo hard to just eat your 1 carb and sit patiently until you're blood sugar goes up. Sad to admit, but I rarely ever due the Rule of 15. I usually try to drink a juice box when I'm low. That way it's a pre-measured amount, I can drink it quickly and keep plugging away at whatever I was doing before.

I'm on the pump too so it's a little too easy to "cheat". Another problem I run into is splurging on something when I'm low thinking "oh, I'm low....I can eat this". I give myself an extra bolus thinking everything is fine but don't take into account the calories. My muffin top is mysterously getting bigger. My 6 year old daughter is the same way...she almost gets excited when she's low because that means she can eat.....hence her love/hate relationship with food begins...

I totally agree. If I am low especially below 60 I just want to eat so I either have to remove myself from the kitchen or whatever sourse of food after i eat my 15grams or else take a guestitated amount of insuling to cover whatever I managed to devour in the time it took for my BG to get up.

i grab whatever i can. usually i have a glass of coke or juice, with two cookies or a few crackers. i wait(unless i am really low, then i just go straight for a second glass of coke or juice), then if i'm still feeling low and i test and i haven't raised enough..another glass i go and more cookies or crackers or whatever. i repeat that until my blood sugar hits 4.5 and then i have a glass of milk and go on with my day.
